Always seemed like the previews were good stuff.
But then this was the late 50's when the Hollywierd stuff was actually entertaining. As long as you liked John Wayne, monsters, etc.
There are lots of good and talented directors out there still making great films. Yeah you have ham fisted progressives but I love cinema, especially summer tent pole films and late year Oscar bait films. Gravity was fantastic, Guardians of the Galaxy was fun and 2010’s True Grit, Grand Budapest Hotel. The list goes on and on. Seek out the gold and leave the garbage behind.
